We must fully understand the significance, rich connotation and practical requirements of further deepening the overall goal of reform, stay on the right track, stay innovative, and do solid work, and strive to write a new chapter in reform and opening up on a new journey in the new era.
Have a deep understanding of the overall goal of further deepening reform in an all-round way
General Secretary of the AA pointed out: "For a country to develop, it is important to define the goal and path." The goal is the direction, the goal is the lead, the goal is the motivation. Over the past 100 years or so since its founding, our Party has been able to overcome numerous difficulties and obstacles and move from victory to victory. An important lesson we have learned is that we have always adhered to the highest ideal and ultimate goal of Communism, and made scientific plans to determine the goals for revolution, construction and reform in various historical periods, so as to guide the way forward for the whole Party and the whole people. We will build up a powerful force of unity and forge ahead, and lead the cause of the Party and the country to stride forward.
Over the past 40 years and more of reform and opening up, in the process of exploration and practice, our Party has continuously deepened its understanding of the laws of reform, gradually established the general goal of comprehensively deepening reform, and led the reform to constantly make new major achievements. The Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee made the historic decision to shift the focus of the work of the Party and the state to economic development and carry out reform and opening up, and the reform from rural areas to urban areas, from coastal areas to inland areas, and from the economic field to other fields. In view of the problems of The Times, the system and the overall situation faced by the continuous deepening of the reform, the 18th National Congress of the Party put forward the strategic task of comprehensively deepening the reform. General Secretary of the AA pointed out: "Comprehensively deepening reform, comprehensive, is to comprehensively promote reform in various fields, we need to have the overall goal, but also to answer the question of what is the ultimate purpose of promoting reform in various fields and what kind of overall results should be achieved." The Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee put forward the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform, which is to "improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity." The 19th National Congress of the CPC took the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform as an important content of AA Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a new era and included it in the newly revised Party Constitution. The establishment of the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform not only realized the transformation of reform from local exploration and breaking through the ice to systematic integration and comprehensive deepening, but also pointed out the direction and provided the basis for future reform, which is of great practical and far-reaching historical significance. Under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade AA at its core, and guided by the overall goal of comprehensively deepening reform, the basic institutional framework in all fields has been basically established, and historic changes, systematic reshaping, and overall restructuring have been achieved in many fields, opening up a new situation in China's reform and opening up, and making historic achievements and changes for the cause of the Party and the country. In order to achieve the Party's first centenary goal and start a new journey towards the second centenary goal, we have injected strong impetus and vitality.
The Decision sets out the general goal of further comprehensively deepening reform, namely "continue to improve and develop the socialist system with Chinese characteristics, and promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity." Compared with the general goal put forward by the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, the word "continue" is added in front, indicating that our Party will remain unchanged in its reform path, will not change its resolve, and will continue to work hard. At the same time, the "Decision" defines the phased reform goals by 2035, specific reform goals and timetables in different areas, road maps, and task books. The general goal of further comprehensively deepening reform is in line with the general goal put forward by the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, but also has new enrichment and development, reflecting the continuity and stage of reform practice and development, and reflecting the deepening and systematization of the Party's understanding of reform. A deep understanding of this overall goal is crucial to completing the historic task of reform in the new era and the new journey, implementing the reform plans made in the Decision, and promoting Chinese-style modernization.
Deeply understand the overall goal of further deepening reform in an all-round way, and firmly and consciously adhere to the theme of Chinese-style modernization. The Party's 20th National Congress drew up a grand blueprint for comprehensively building a modern socialist country, and established the central task of comprehensively promoting the building of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization, and comprehensively deepening reform must obey and serve this central task. Only by deeply understanding and anchoring the overall goal of further deepening reform in an all-round way, continuing to improve and develop the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, resolutely removing the ideological and institutional drawbacks that hinder the advancement of Chinese-style modernization, and working hard to resolve deep-seated institutional obstacles and structural problems can we add strong impetus and provide strong institutional guarantees for accomplishing our central tasks and achieving our strategic goals.

Reform and opening up is a profound revolution, which must be carried out in the right direction and along the right path to achieve success. The overall goal of further comprehensively deepening reform stipulates that the fundamental direction of further comprehensively deepening reform is the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and reflects the clear direction of improving and developing the socialist system with Chinese characteristics under the guidance of the fundamental direction. Only with a deep understanding of this overall goal and taking it as the fundamental yardstick can we have a clear idea of what to reform and how to reform it, unswervingly adhere to the Party's overall leadership, to Marxism, to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, to the people's democratic dictatorship and other fundamental things, and effectively reform those that should be and can be reformed and put them in place.

At present, the comprehensive deepening of reform has entered a difficult period and a deep water zone. The situation at home and abroad is more complex, the adjustment of the pattern of interests and the reform of the institutional system are more profound, and the correlation, coupling and sensitivity of the reform measures are more prominent.
